First Build

[tinyman1199]

I'm planning on completing my first build soon I have a proposed system but wanted to know if it was good or if I could get it any cheaper.

You can find my build here: http://amzn.eu/hS4rwPp

But I can get the CPU, GPU and PSU cheaper here:

http://www.ebuyer.com/730210-evga-750-gq-modular-gold-rated-80-power-supply-210-gq-0750-v3

 

1. Budget & Location

I am in the UK so use GBP and I have a budget of £1500 but if it can be closer to £1000 that would be much better

 

2. Aim

I am planning on using the PC for gaming on games such as, GTA 5, CS:GO, Rocket League etc, but I will also be using it to record and render YouTube videos

3. Monitors

I plan on running 1 monitor preferably at 1080p and 144Hz

4. Peripherals

I only need a monitor for this build

5. Why are you upgrading?

I am upgrading due to the fact I currently only have a HP pavilion notebook which cant run the games I want it to at anymore than 20FPS and it cant render any YouTube videos at all when recording using OBS

 

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks in advance, Thomas

For what is worth you pay for the key not the install media, also use pcpartpicker.

" contact be quiet for am4 mounts." It's because they're new.

the ryzen 7's 8 cores will be much better over the i7 when you use it for rendering youtube videos. you also get SLI support and a much better cooler for overclocking with the build i made.
